Staff was excellent, friendly, always helpful. Breakfast was wonderful every day. The location was great for its proximity to the airport and other means of transportation. The hotel is due for a 'face lift' though it was perfectly good for our stay, save the notes below. I would be fine to stay again without a second thought. Consider before you book: no airport shuttle services. If you are willing and able to haul yourself and your bags up to the 2nd or 3rd floor .... you're great. However, if that isn't you; do one of 2 things. Either make certain you have a ground floor room OR book elsewhere. The elevator stopped working several times during our 5 day stay. It was an issue that canceled our Aurora viewing plans for that evening. Upon arriving, we found that our bathroom had not been fully cleaned. We took care of it and the rest of the stay in that regard was great. Our TV wasn't working for the first 2.5 days. Eventually either it was cured or replaced. Either way we enjoyed TV while we were at the room the rest of the time.

The front desk staff was extremely nice and very helpful. I don’t think there is any sound insulation in the walls or ceiling. It sounded like a basketball team was running around over us every night! The hotel was clean, especially our room, but the lobby floor had so much trash on it.

Customers have to deal with no sleep.
Myself and my husband has stayed at this location several times. We actually love the free breakfast and beds so we’ve come back even after having nights that ended up sleepless due to people being loud, heater not working, people outside being loud ect.. I let the service people know and they didn’t seem to care either time. This was the last time we attempted to stay. I’m pretty upset because if there wasn’t any weird sales going on between vehicles that stay running till 4am with cutoff mufflers I would have had a great anniversary but again it was a waste of money. From now on we will choose another hotel to have our monthly stays at.
